Ah Shanghai! We have come and gone and miss you!!! This was such a nice city! After the utter confusion of the inner areas, going to a modern city was so refreshing! OK maybe refreshing isn't really the word I'm looking for but you get the idea. There was still the spitting and hacking, and general grubbiness but the city was pretty modern and comparable to those in the west. Now what did we actually do here you ask? Well...we shopped! We went to the biggest mall in Shanghi, right across fromt he pearl tower. It had 8 floors, with a supermarket downstairs, and two! (not one but TWO) Starbucks!
Then the next day we ended up going to the Yuyuan gardens, which is this beautiful garden complex in the middle of the city...surrounded by a giant Bazaar! Again, shopping was had! Oh and there was a Starbucks here too. (Natasha if your reading this I had an iced green tea latte in your honour)
One more thing about Shanghai...all those stories about the masses of people in the subway...IT'S ALL TRUE!!!!!! During peak times me and Kait were literally picked up by the crowd and forced onto the train. We were just lucky it was the one we needed. It was like crowd surfing without the heavy metal in the background. You couldn't complain about the persons hand on your ass because yours was on an equally unknown persons. In short it was fun but really not for the weak of heart, or claustrophobic,....or anyone who wants to stay clean in general...
